Military Advantage

Famous quotes containing the words military advantage, military and/or advantage:

    War both needs and generates certain virtues; not the highest, but what may be called the preliminary virtues, as valour, veracity, the spirit of obedience, the habit of discipline.

    The advantage of having a bad memory is that you can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
